Study Notes
Factors Affecting Growth and Development
-
Heredity transmits physical traits from parents to children via genes. This includes height, weight, eye color, hair texture, and even intelligence. Genetic factors can negatively impact a child's growth.
-
Nutrition is crucial for overall child development. A mother's diet before and during pregnancy impacts the child.
-
Gender can influence cognitive development and maturation. Research shows boys sometimes have lower school readiness levels than girls.
-
Intelligence involves self-awareness and honestly assessing emotions. Understanding and managing emotions affects interactions with others.
-
Environment significantly impacts a child's well-being. Positive environments, like loving families and supportive schools, foster strong social and interpersonal skills and academic success. Conversely, stressful environments, such as poverty or broken families, can have negative consequences.
Geographical Influence
- Living in a community with parks, libraries, and community centers encourages children's participation in activities and sports.
Parent's Socio-economic Status
- Socio-economic status affects a child's early development in various ways including diet, education, health, and the views of others. Early experiences between the ages of 2 and 5 can impact future success or challenges.
Accidents and Incidents
- Repeated trauma, exposure to abuse or neglect, as seen in media or in real scenarios, can have a negative impact on a child's physical and emotional development. This includes issues with physical contact and emotional responses due to fear or anxiety. Such incidents can lead to physical symptoms or emotional challenges that affect growth and development.
